FRIDAY 12/09/16
*PITCH-HONING WORKSHOP*
(A blog post will go LIVE on 12/09, right here on the PitchMAS blog, where you will post your pitches in the COMMENT SECTION. Your peers will then hop around and critique/advise you on what works/doesn't work. Tamara and Jessa WILL NOT be participating in the workshop; this is for peer critique/help only.)
It must be said again, as we get questions about this EVERY year: If you feel that your comment hasn't posted, IT HAS. Because of the sheer volume of comments on the pitch-honing workshop, you'll have to click "load more'' at the bottom of the page a few times to see all of the comments. When in doubt, hit 'refresh'!
SUNDAY 12/11/16 - MONDAY 12/12/16

TWITTER PITCH PARTY
{140 Characters or Less}
On Friday, 12/16/16, from 6:00a.m. PST to 6:00p.m. PST, we will have our PitchMAS Twitter Party!
Agents and editors will follow the hashtag #PitchMAS, reading your awesome pitches. ANYONE can participate, even if you didn't make it into the 50 selected blog pitches! However, your manuscript MUST BE COMPLETED and POLISHED.
Twitter pitches MUST BE 140 Characters or Less and HAVE TO include the hashtag. DO NOT make the agents and editors work by breaking your pitch into more than one tweet. You will likely just annoy the participating agents/editors and your fellow pitchers. We also advise against making them click a link to get to your pitch. Guess what? They won't. Also, including images with your pitch is gimmicky and we advise against it.
Please keep your Twitter pitching to no more than TWO PITCHES PER HOUR.
Do not fill up the feed with your pitch over and over again. This will annoy the agents and editors involved, as well as ruining it for everyone else and people WILL remember you for it.

Follow along with the hashtag: #PitchMAS
Participating agents and editors will be announced in November on MONDAY, DECEMBER 5th!
In the meantime, make sure you follow both of us on Twitter. (We often post the same #PitchMAS related info, but you never know when only one of us will tweet something important.)
